C6 Awakened Practitioner Ning Feng
"Unless what?"
In a moment of surprise, Chu Lin grabbed the deputy chief paramedic by his arm. Forgetting about his overwhelming strength, however, Chu Lin almost ended up breaking the deputy's arm with a mere grasp even though he was also an intermediate warrior.
At that instant, the deputy's face turned bleach pale. Sweat rolled down his face as he almost cried out in pain.
"I'm so sorry! I was just stirred up by your previous words."
Chu Lin quickly let go of his arm.
"No, please don't apologize." Gritting his teeth, the deputy simply endured the pain. After all, how could a mere deputy possibly accept the apology of an Awakened Practitioner?
"Sir, there is actually another way of saving him, but all odds against him. Old Yu and I have known each other for the longest time. Despite only being intermediate warriors, our physiques are in no way inferior to that of high-level warriors."
"If he manages to awaken his gene chain at this moment and become an Awakened Practitioner, he would surely be able to turn the tide of his fate."
The vice-captain said in a helpless fashion.
It was said that the best time to awaken one's gene chain is during the period between life and death. Even so, how could it possibly be that simple to do so? During the previous major battle in Weiyang, more than 37% of the soldiers had died and countless more were injured.
Despite that, the only one who managed to awaken was Chu Lin.
"Awakening?"
Hearing that, Chu Lin was also stunned.
At this moment, Chu Lin suddenly recalled the Gene Drug he had in his pocket. According to Han Dong, it possessed a hundreds times more Gene Energy than a normal Beast Core.
Therefore, Chu Lin immediately asked: "If we inject a Gene Drug into him, would it be more likely for him to awakening his gene chain?"
"Gene Drug?!"
When Hu Biao heard what Chu Lin said, he stared at Chu Lin in disbelief.
"Does my lord have a Gene Drug?"
"The commander had just given me one." Chu Lin said and took out the tube of Gene Drug from his pocket.
Even though the Gene Drug — light red in color — did not look impressive on the surface, it nonetheless contained more Gene Energy than a few hundred Beast Core combined.
"I... I don't know either, but an F-class Gene Drug should give the captain a greater chance of awakening his gene chain. After all, he is an intermediate warrior."
Hu Biao carefully received the Gene Drug — a trace of greed gradually rising in his heart. If he could obtain this Gene Drug, then he could possibly become an Awakened Practitioner himself.
When he thought of Captain Yu Zhen, however, his greedy thoughts were quickly suppressed.
"But in the terrible condition that the captain is in right now, he might not be able to withstand the intense energy from the Gene Drug!"
"Just give him the injection," Chu Lin said without any hesitation.
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"
Hu Biao asked again with a serious expression.
"This Gene Drug is also important to you. If the captain fails to survive even after this, you will suffer a heavy loss."
"Just do the injection," Chu Lin waved his hand and said in a resolute manner.
Captain Yu Zhen was his father's friend. Even though it was a dangerous battlefield, Captain Yu Zhen still tried to protect him, which touched Chu Lin's heart.
In any case, the Gene Drug would be useless to him anyways with his ability to extract genes from others.
As long as he got his hands on a steady supply of Beast Cores, Chu Lin's strength would certainly be limitless — more effective than any Gene Drug he would ever find.
Hu Biao's heart trembled after hearing his resolve. He never thought that Chu Lin would be willing to use such a precious Gene Drug to save Captain Yu Zhen's life. To think that he would gamble on that chance even if all odds were against him.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the ICU, they saw Yu Zhen, who was wrapped in bandages and filled with tubes to prevent him from dying. At this point, he even needed to rely on the help of the ventilator to help him breathe.
"Vice-Captain Hu, we've already done our best, but Captain Yu's injuries are just too severe. He will be forever known as a hero" Seeing Hu Biao's arrival, the medical staff revealed a pained expression and said with great regret.
Judging from the opinions from others, Yu Zhen was quite popular in the camp. Even the eyes of the nurses in the room were red from weeping.
After all, these people were once protected by Captain Yu Zhen.
"Open the door, we have a way to treat Captain Yuh Zhen." Chu Lin analyzed the room for a while and said firmly.
At this point, Chu Lin had no other options available to him. Even if the Gene Drug could not guarantee Yu Zhen's awakening, he was nevertheless in danger right now. In this moment of desperation, this was the only thing he could do to save him.
"How is that possible?" When the medical staff heard this, they were all taken aback. "Captain Yu's injuries are too severe. Even through the use of rare medications, we could only delay the time of his inevitable death. What can you even do to save him?"
"Presumptuous of you to talk such nonsense to an Awakened Practitioner. Just hurry up and open the door," Vice-Captain Hu exclaimed with a cold expression.
When the medical personnel heard that Chu Lin was actually an Awakened Practitioner, they were even more shocked.
Who could blame them? This was the first time he had seen such a young Awakened Practitioner.
When the others nearby heard this, they also looked at Chu Lin in surprise.
In their eyes, the title of an Awakened Practitioner was far beyond their reach; thus, they saw him as someone chosen by the gods themselves.
"Why haven't I seen him before then…?" The medical staff muttered as they unwillingly opened the door to the ICU.
Right at this moment, a strong gust of wind surged through the room as a figure descended from the sky and appeared before everyone.
It was Ning Feng!
"Chu Lin, the Gene Drug was not given to you to waste on useless trash, but to instead enhance the strength of the entire camp."
Ning Feng came in front of Chu Lin with a cold and handsome face. He stretched out his hand and said: "If you don't want to use it, then just give it to me!"
"Ah, it's Awakened Practitioner Ning Feng!"
"Why is he here? What did he just say… Gene Drug?"
"Does Lord Awakened Practitioner intend to use Gene Drug to save Captain Yu Zhen? If so, the captain can possibly be saved!"
"..."
When the nurses around them heard Ning Feng's words, they immediately became excited as thye pieced the puzzle together.
Although they had never seen a Gene Drug before, they had nevertheless heard how valuable an item it was.
The Gene Drug was a precious treasure that even the Awakened Practitioners would long for. If it was injected into Captain Yu Zhen, there would definitely be hope for him to survive!
"What did you say?" Chu Lin focused his gaze and stared menacingly at Ning Feng.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to hand over the Gene Drug. Don't waste it on such trash! Or do you want me to take it by force instead?"
Ning Feng said coldly as a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
"Captain Yu is not some useless trash!" After hearing Ning Feng insult his captain time and time again, Hu Biao could not help but stand up and retort.
"You are not in a position to interrupt! Trash like you should just scram!" Ning Feng let out a cold sneer. Suddenly, he clapped his hands as a strong gust of wind blew against Hu Biao.
At that moment, Hu Biao was sent flying away as if he received a heavy blow.
"Agh!"
"Vice-Captain Hu!"
When the medical staff saw this scene, they all cried out in alarm.
"How dare you!" Chu Lin's heart fumed in anger while his eyes were bloodshot with killing intent.
"What is it? Do you still want to fight me? A mere child who had just awakened and has not even used a Gene Drug is no different from trash."
"Do you still intend to use the Gene Drug to save such a worthless person? What an idiot! Aren't you afraid of your gene chain turning unstable and causing you to collapse?"
Ning Feng said in disgust.
"A newly Awakened Practitioner?"
"If an Awakened Practicer does not use a Gene Drug, then his strength would not be much different from a normal human being.
"Although Sir Ning Feng's words are unpleasant to hear, he does speak of the truth. The precious Gene Drug must be used on the Awakened Practitioners in order to guarantee the safety of the camp. It would just be a waste to give it to Captain Yu Zhen."
"If they really start fighting, I'm afraid that this little brother won't even be able to withstand a single hit from Ning Feng."
When the surrounding people heard that Chu Lin was a newly Awakened Practitioner, they all looked at him with a bizarre expression.
Having awakened three gene chains and produced outstanding achievements in battle as an Awakened Practitioner, Ning Feng naturally had a greater reputation in the gathering ground than Chu Lin.
